Is anyone else playing Apple Lossless files on their Nano?

With the Ipod Mini it was a nightmare at the gym. Kept stopping due to the HD buffer.

But now with a flash player I guess there's no problem?

I've found the battery still lasts a decent amout of time (for a few workouts anyway).

Now if someone out here knows if there is a way yet to create one single gapless track from LOSSLESS files I'll be one happy camper.

Anyone?

I thought under burning you could select no gap while ripping.

I thought that only worked if you were making AAC files?

It works. But is there any way to stitch Lossless files together that are already made without having to re-rip from the CD?

There is a shareware product ($10) on the Mac that can join files of any type.

That's really cool. But it doesn't support lossless.

Yes it does. Use the Join & Convert script. (ALC, WAV, AIF)

Joining tracks does not make a player gapless.

iPods are not gapless. Period. Sonys and the Karma are - natively. If you have to join tracks and it appears as one, that's not gapless support. You need to be able to go between tracks.

But you're splitting hairs. If by joining the tracks there is now gap in the sound as the artist intended then you put bookmarks to skip between tracks within the track what's the difference?

I know it's a work-around. But it's a work-around that works. I only have a few albums that warrent gapless playback anyway. DJ Mix's mostly. It's a synch to stich together tracks now so yes you are right that the nano doesn't do it natively but it does play gapless with the work-around.
